Introduction

Soffid offers a comprehensive platform for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) with the goal of centralizing identity and access management, achieving greater efficiency in access management, improving information security, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

In this chapter we are going to see the general system architecture, how add-ons and connectors integrate into Soffid, and the different ways the system can be deployed. We will also highlight the concepts and relationships of the Data Model, and how the Security Model manages permissions and authorizations. Finally, we will explain how the Self-Service portal allows end users to manage their accounts and access applications or business processes.

Introduction

In this chapter we are going to learn Soffid’s different authentication policies and what differentiates each one from the others. We will also learn how to extend the data model with metadata, creating user objects, and how to change configuration parameters in the Global Settings section. Finally, we will introduce the Attribute translation variables and how to use them, as well as what difference there is between Soffid Connectors and Add-ons.
